The latest addition to Marvel Studios’ highly anticipated “The Fantastic Four” is English actor Ralph Ineson, who’s been tapped for the pivotal role of Galactus. Ineson joins a star-studded cast led by Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards/Mr. Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm/Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm/Human Torch, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm/The Thing.
Also rounding out the ensemble are Julia Garner as Shalla-Bal/Silver Surfer, Paul Walter Hauser, and John Malkovich. Plot details are closely guarded, but the film is set in the 1960s, coinciding with the era of the original super team’s inception. Whether this installment aligns with the established timeline remains uncertain, but Galactus is confirmed as the primary antagonist, with Silver Surfer also playing a significant role.
Casting announcements have been rolling out steadily in preparation for a major production schedule set to kick off this summer in England. Directed by three-time Primetime Emmy nominee Matt Shakman, known for his work on “WandaVision” and “Game of Thrones,” and with a screenplay by Eric Pearson, Josh Friedman, Jeff Kaplan, and Ian Springer, anticipation for “The Fantastic Four” continues to soar.
Ineson, recognized for his memorable roles in HBO’s “Game of Thrones” and the Harry Potter franchise, brings a wealth of talent to the role of Galactus in Marvel’s “The Fantastic Four.” His diverse resume includes standout performances in projects like “The Witch,” HBO’s “Chernobyl,” and “The Green Knight,” among others. Notably, he also appeared in James Gunn’s “Guardians of the Galaxy.”
Next on his roster is Robert Eggers’ “Nosferatu,” slated for release later this year, and he’s currently immersed in filming Guillermo del Toro’s “Frankenstein” for Netflix.
Marvel’s first family last graced the screen in 2005’s “Fantastic Four,” followed by a sequel, “Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer.” Despite introducing Galactus, the series faltered, leading to the cancellation of a third film.
In 2015, 20th Century Fox rebooted the franchise with a new cast, but the film failed to impress both critics and audiences. Now, with Marvel Studios at the helm, “The Fantastic Four” is primed for a triumphant return to theatres on July 25, 2025.
